After working in a microbiology laboratory, I worked for an American NGO as Country Director in Freetown, followed by a position as project manager for Sierra Leone and Liberia for a German NGO.

Since I visited Sierra Leone for the very first time in 1985, I have been working for and in this country. In 2006, I established my own health project together with the YMCA Sierra Leone, a free health care service for pregnant women and children.

These and other projects made my business network growing since, so that I got in touch with many influental people, including the Ambassador from Sierra Leone in Berlin, as well as the German Ambassador to Freetown, Sierra Leone.

During the Ebola crisis 2014 I was working in Freetown as country director for an American NGO called Project Peanut Butter. In this function I was responsible for the smooth functioning of the entire production of peanut paste for malnourished children.

Furthermore I attended Task-Force-Meetings at the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, where tremendous efforts were made to provide the virus from entering into Sierra Leone.

After being back to Germany, I contributed my expertise to action medeor e.V. as project manager for Sierra Leone and Liberia. I worked towards implementing a new midwifery school in Sierra Leone and also supported a hospital with the reopening after the Ebola crisis. During that time I cooperated with local partners to boost and develop their programs.
